Manchester United favourite David de Gea has sent a cheeky message after Manchester City were found guilty on 114 Premier League charges.
Man City have been the subject of an investigation for breaching the Premier League’s financial regulations over the past few years.
An official verdict is expected soon, with The Athletic confirming that the Cityzens have been found guilty on 114 of the 115 charges against them.
No sanctions have been made thus far, but there is a possibility that Man City could be stripped of their league titles won between 2009 and 2018.
United won only one league title in that time, but they could be rewarded with another two if Man City are stripped of three titles won between that period.
Legend goalkeeper De Gea, who played for United between 2011 and 2023, has now sent a cheeky 12-word message on X in response to Man City’s charges.
He wrote on X: “So…… Let’s talk. How many Premier League titles have I won then?”
United finished second in 2011/12 when Man City won their first Premier League title in dramatic fashion against Queens Park Rangers at the Etihad Stadium.
The Cityzens were trailing 2-1 in stoppage time. Edin Dzeko made it 2-2 in the 92nd minute before Sergio Aguero scored a historic winner in the dying seconds.
Man City eventually won the title on goal difference alone.
That moment would be erased from history, which United fans would undoubtedly love.
The Red Devils also finished runners-up in 2017/18. The club were a distant second to Man City, finishing 19 points behind the Cityzens’ record 100-point tally.
Hence, United and De Gea could be awarded two more Premier League titles.
If Man City can’t prove their innocence, they will also need to pay hefty compensation to title challengers and those who missed out on Champions League qualification between 2009 and 2018.
The Independent have claimed Arsenal, United, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are prepared to take legal action and sue Man City over compensation which could be worth over £200 million.
